Subject: Reducing Employment by Raising the Federal Minimum Wage to $15 per Hour
Description: This bill would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to reduce employment opportunities and infringe the right of employees and employers to freely contract by raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. This increase would be implemented over a period of six years and then increased annually based on inflation. The bill would also reduce employment opportunities for tipped employees by imposing the full minimum wage on those occupations. ACU opposes increases in the minimum wage which harm those who most need help with employment experience, such as students and inexperienced workers.
